Feminist Theatre really took root in the 1970s. On the tide of the civil rights movement, activists banded together to combat the oppression of misogyny, especially pertaining to politics. Women were now able to express and share details of their lives that were once considered taboo. An early feminist theatre group, It's Alright to Be a Woman in Theatre, adapted these political conflicts into plays and performances. Feminist theatre soon flourished, albeit it was focused more so on the political gripes of white women, rather than women of color. Due to disunity within the art, as well as economic hurdles, feminist theatre began to decline in mainstream popularity. I would say that Trifles represents feminist theatre as it so clearly illustrates political discrepancies that women had towards the judicial system, etc, and blatantly and intentionally showcased these concerns.
